The Official World Cup 2010 Thread

Don't you worry boys, after the dull France game, England will liven up the tournament again in a few hours.

Yup....by getting steamrolled by the US

SCREW BRITANNIA,
THE US SHOWS THE MASSES,
AND WHEN WE GET YOU ON THE PITCH WE'RE GONNA KICK YOUR BRITISH ASSES!
(to the tune of Rule Britannia)
USA, USA, USA!!!

England are going to whip the USA like a naughty step child. Just a shame I have to stay up until 3:30 in the morning to see it!

12:20am now and still another 3 hours to go. I watched the Korea game which wasn't bad, the Koreans get a bit hyper about it though, you could hear screaming from the streets everytime a goal was scored. I might do the same, but a bit later than that! Nah, I won't be that mean. I will sit and gloat in utter silence. I am a man of peace.

Nigeria are maddening to watch.

Maradona's midget sideline reactions are priceless though. I have never seen a person look more awkward in a suit.

Milito will come in and score almost immediately.

Maradona looks like he has lost a bit of weight. For some reason every game in this world cup sounds like there are swarms of angry bees buzzing away rather than people shouting and chanting. It's weird and must be something to do with the Korean coverage, it doesn't sound like I am hearing a live audience. Yesterday I thought it might just be some South African chanting, but it's the same every game. Very off putting.

I'm going to be a fucking wreck tomorrow.

Looks like this stadium is quite full, I didn't like the look of the half empty stadium earlier. They could at least have given away all the remaining tickets to local poor folk or something and made it look more full. I hear there are 40,000 Americans out there! Sounds mental!

[OumaFan]

Its the Vuvuzelas, some kind of basic horn, the South African fans love them, I got used to them at last summer's Confederations Cup so I barely notice them now.

I know its Argentina and they're good no matter what Maradona does to them but Nigeria have been shit.

[Gandalf]

Hopefully in the England game we will actually hear some audience participation beyond this bee impersonating trumpet device. I kinda lost interest in this game towards the end really.

Argentina against Korea should be fun next time out. Think Argentina are too strong for them though.

I think the only positive for Nigeria was their goalkeeper...some sensational saves in there, and nothing he could do with the goal.
